| azx | When i open an app window in kubuntu it's always too small and has part of the content cut off and i have to resize it | 00:37 |
|---|---|---|
| azx | is there a setting i can set to automatically make the window large enough to show the content within | 00:37 |
| azx | I've changed the scale to be large enough to read on my 4k display | 00:38 |
| azx | i think the windows are opening with the old sizing method for the tiny scale | 00:38 |
| azx | because if the scale is tiny, idon't have this issue | 00:38 |
| mparillo | azx: I have never done it but under your application window icon can you More Actions > Configure Special Window Settings or More Actions > Configure Special Window Settings | 01:14 |
| mparillo | Second option should be Configure Special Application Settings. | 01:15 |
| azx | mparillo: Thanks! I'll have to do that on a per-application basis | 01:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> I am about to move from Arch to Kubuntu because of AMD pro drivers but the question I have is how to early load intel-microcode in Kubuntu or is it already installed and set up this way?? I am pretty sure it is different for me in Arch. Any help or explanations are appreciated. | 01:38 |
| k_sze | Does Kubuntu (18.04) support fractional scaling of display | 02:00 |
| valorie | @freefreeno afaik, intel-microcode comes through with other updates | 03:33 |
| valorie | I never added any extra repos, etc. | 03:33 |
| valorie | !info intel-microcode | 03:33 |
| ubottu | intel-microcode (source: intel-microcode): Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs. In component main, is extra. Version 3.20191115.1ubuntu0.18.04.2 (bionic), package size 2351 kB, installed size 2959 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; x32) | 03:33 |
| valorie | k_sze: fractional scaling was introduced in 2019, so I doubt that it will work in 18.04, even with backports | 03:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, I wasn't talking about installing intel-microcode. I was asking if it loaded early by default. It is recommeded to load intel-microcode early in the boot process but it can be loaded late. The last time I used Ubuntu distro I believe it was being loaded late. I want to know if loads EARLY by default. | 03:43 |
| valorie | that I don't know | 03:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Josh, what card are you using? | 03:44 |
| valorie | the kubuntu team doesn't do that part of preparing the ISO, etc. | 03:44 |
| valorie | I was going to suggest asking in #ubuntu, but @DarinMiller knows hardware, drivers, etc. | 03:45 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> intel microcode install is optional on Kubutu (can be installed after OS install: sudo apt install intel-microcode). | 03:49 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> I recommend installing 19.10 and adding backports PPA. Better fractional scaling support will soon be available in plasma 5.18 and then upgrade to 20.04 (an LTS release). | 03:53 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> If 18.04 is a must, use a combination of Force Font DPI and/or display scaling to achieve the desired results. | 03:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @DarinMiller, I am on the i7 9750H and I have been loading the intel-ucode at boot fro years and would like to know how this is done in Kubuntu | 05:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @DarinMiller, I was under the impression from the wiki that everyone should be loading there microcode at boot or at least loading it late but loading it early is the recomended way. | 05:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @DarinMiller, i7 9750H | 05:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @DarinMiller, I load mine now with systemd boot it loads early with grub also. This is how I configure it. I would just like to know how after I install the intel-microcode package what do I do then to load it early. | 05:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Thanks for helping. | 05:33 |
| valorie | you're welcome! | 05:34 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Maybe I am asking this wrong. We use intel-ucode. | 05:35 |
| valorie | if you have further questions, #ubuntu may be better | 05:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, I asked this same thing at Ubuntu forums and got no help. Thanks though. I think I am supposed to use iucode_tool in Ubuntu distro's. I just don't understand how to use it. | 05:43 |
| valorie | @freefreeno I'm not sure why doing anything special would be required? | 05:50 |
| valorie | !info iucode_tool | 05:51 |
| ubottu | Package iucode_tool does not exist in bionic | 05:51 |
| valorie | there is https://gitlab.com/iucode-tool/iucode-tool | 05:52 |
| valorie | but it doesn't explain why its use would be necessary | 05:52 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> Not to sound ike a you know what but BUT are you saying that you recomend that people use there PC's without installing the microcode for there processors??? | 05:52 |
| valorie | I do use it | 05:53 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Ok hold on one sec then and we can get to the bottom of this. | 05:55 |
| valorie | I'm really the wrong person to discuss this with, @freefreeno | 05:55 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, It only takes one command to see if your has automatically loaded early is all I am saying. I am getting the command now. It will be in dmesg or journal. | 05:56 |
| valorie | sorry, have other things to do | 05:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> journalctl -k --grep='microcode' | 05:57 |

| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Ok this is all I need to see and all you did was install intel-microcode ??? | 05:58 |
| valorie | yes | 05:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Ok thanks. This has to be configured in Arch. | 05:59 |
| valorie | never anything special | 05:59 |
| valorie | lol, doesn't surprise me | 05:59 |
| valorie | :-) | 05:59 |
| valorie | one of the many reasons I use Kubuntu rather than the alternatives | 06:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Its like three words but nevertheless | 06:00 |
| valorie | real magick is often simple | 06:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, What keeps me from making the jump for a couple years is hardware acceleration in chromium and the widevine package. I have to have these things. | 06:01 |
| valorie | !info widevine | 06:01 |
| ubottu | Package widevine does not exist in bionic | 06:01 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @ubottu, Yes I know and that means no netflix or anything in chromium and no hardware acceleration. | 06:02 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @ubottu, So its chrome for vids with no hw accel | 06:02 |
| valorie | https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chromium-widevine | 06:03 |
| valorie | I suppose that is installable with dpkg | 06:03 |

| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, See you've been a great help. Now if Ubuntu just had a patched chromium with vappi | 06:03 |
| valorie | you could file a "needs packaging" bug against it | 06:04 |
| valorie | and ask for the patch, too | 06:04 |
| valorie | possibly available as a snap | 06:05 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Well they did have an experimental snapd package with it enabled but I think that is gone now. | 06:11 |
| valorie | bummer | 06:11 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> I just am a chrome user and I like to watch videos and it makes a huge difference especially if your on battery. | 06:13 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Processor run at like 5 to 8% with it playing HD but without it is like 20 % | 06:14 |
| valorie | ok | 06:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <freefreeno> @valorie, Thanks again. | 06:14 |

| Wizard_ | can i have question about kubuntu? | 21:16 |
| user|196323 | I have a kubuntu question. Is anyone around to answer? | 22:24 |
| wardred | It's better just to ask. What's up? | 22:28 |
| user|196323 | I previously installed (I think) 19.04 from a USB stick | 22:29 |
| user|196323 | but I've changed to 19.10 from a DVD | 22:29 |
| user|196323 | However something weird about the partitions | 22:29 |
| user|196323 | it's all on the same laptop, but this time I have a small fat32 partition | 22:30 |
| user|196323 | I don't remember ever having that previously | 22:30 |
| user|196323 | should I be worried | 22:30 |
| wardred | I believe that's typically the UEFI partition, asuming you're using UEFI to boot instead of bios. | 22:30 |
| user|196323 | I'm too much of a noob to know what i'm using to boot | 22:31 |
| wardred | That's pretty typical on modern hardware. | 22:31 |
| user|196323 | But why didn't it do that on this laptop from the USB stick? | 22:31 |
| user|196323 | (at least as far as I remember) | 22:31 |
| wardred | Depending on how things were setup, and/or what type of USB stick you were using, UEFI boot may not have been an option. | 22:32 |
| wardred | USB stick is a little touchier than DVD. | 22:32 |
| user|196323 | What would be the tangible difference between a UEFI boot and a non-UEFI boot | 22:32 |
| user|196323 | i.e. what's the difference in how it looks | 22:32 |
| wardred | I don't know all the particulars, but you can search for Ubuntu USB not booting UEFI or something similar. | 22:33 |
| user|196323 | Well I'm not bothered about how it boots so long as it works | 22:33 |
| user|196323 | It was just a red flag to me to have an extra partition compared with what i'd had before | 22:33 |
| wardred | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:37 |
| wardred | You should be good. I'm not 100% sure why the USB stick didn't create the fat32 partition. I'm out, have fun! | 22:37 |

| Wizard_ | I just run do-release-upgrade and it stucked after installing chrome via snap,... then i runned apt ugrade and it downloaded stuff,... is there a way how to tell that everything is alright and proper? system works, but i had to ctrl+c that do-release-upgrade after that chromium install. so iam worried, that there is something missing. | 23:49 |
